Bachelor’s Degree in Political Science

A major in Political Science provides students with a systematic knowledge of political life, helping them evaluate public issues and make decisions through a balanced program of study in which philosophical, empirical, and policy concerns complement one another. The Political Science curriculum offers a flexible course of study that provides a solid foundation for a career in law, politics, public service, research, or teaching.

The department is strong in the study of American national and state politics, politics and law, political philosophy, comparative and international politics, and political behavior.
